Biography[]
Deep in the Klatu Nebula, the brave Thermians have been trying to survive the advances of the genocidal alien warlord named Sarris, the leader of the reptilian Fatu-Krey. Sarris destroyed their home planet and killed billions of Thermians, until only a few remained on a ship called the NSEA Protector, a ship built to the exact specifications of another ship seen on "historical documents" beams into space from Planet Earth. What the Thermians did not know was that the documents were really a TV show called Galaxy Quest, in which Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) plays Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, head officer onboard the Protector. Faced with extinction, the Thermians sought out Jason and his "crew" (the other main actors) for help against Sarris.
After torturing and killing the Thermians' former commander, Sarris then discovered the existence of an experimental device called the Omega 13 and wanted to know what it did. Some believed it to be a device that would destroy the universe in thirteen seconds, others believed that it was a thirteen-second time jump into the past. Regardless, Sarris sought to obtain the Omega 13 to obtain its power.
Later on, one of his lieutenants reported that the Thermians have appointed a new commander to handle negotiations with him. Sarris starts making negotiations in a threatening way when on screen, including demanding the omega 13. Jason, who the Thermians believed to be the real Commander Taggert from a Galaxy Quest TV show, thought this whole thing he is in the middle of was an act and part of a new show. He ordered the Thermians to fire everything on Sarris, and returns to earth.
However, the Thermians come back to earth reporting to Jason that Sarris survived and they want him back. Jason, now already realized that his adventure was real, accepts it, and the rest of the actors join in two, at first thought this is a job.
They meet Sarris again, who is scarred with an eye patch and a cybernetic arm and carrying the head of one of his lieutenants that failed to activate his ships neutral armor as quickly as he hoped on their last encounter. Jason tries to apologize for the incident, claiming it was all a misunderstanding. Sarris demands the Omega 13, or he will destroy their ship. Afterwards, he fires at them and chases them into a mine field.
When Sarris and his forces have captured the Protector and the whole crew, he discovered that the "crew" were nothing more than a group of actors, he attempted to blow up the Protector with a core implosion, release Nesmith's team into space, and suffocate the Thermians. All three failed, however, as the actors put up a fight, killing many of Sarris' minions before blowing up his ship with mines from a minefield.
However, Sarris was able to escape his ship by using a device to teleport onto the Protector. Disguised as Fred, he wounded or killed most of the crew (ironically excluding Guy, who always thought he was the expendable character with an unknown last name), but Jason activated the Omega 13, reversing time. He attacked Sarris, who pulled out his knife but was knocked unconcious with a cane by Mathasar, the leader of the Thermians.
After the actors returned to Earth, stepping on stage at a Galaxy Quest convention, Sarris emerges, but Jason fires a shot from his Ion Nebulizer (blaster pistol) to disintigrate the alien warlord, killing him for good, much to the applause of the audience. With Sarris' death, the destruction of the Thermians' home planet was avenged.
